Aside from being poorly written in terms of both grammar and style, this article is entirely original research and unreferenced. I'm not sure the topic is more than a neologism. If there is an acceptable article to be written on this topic, the current version offers nothing of value to start with, and it is best deleted. Peacock (talk) 20:22, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete could not have said it better myself.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:49, 3 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is certainly no neologism, with many books having been written about the subject as it applies both to Eastern Europe and China, such as ISBN 9780415262576, ISBN 9781845451240 and ISBN 9780822342304. I don't see what is so irredeemable about the current content of the article as to prevent it from being used as a starting point. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:55, 4 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Article is original research, unsourced and contains factual errors. "Postsocialism" literally means "after socialism" and is not used as a consistent concept in the various searches above. The Four Deuces (talk) 07:27, 8 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
